Chapter 39: Big bro, can I ask for your WeChat?

Ye Xian didn't give her time to react and directly placed the flower in her hands, "I've been waiting here for Sister all day, the waiting has nearly wilted the flowers."

Ning Xiner looked at his pitiful appearance, but his gaze was resolute, and she was momentarily touched.

A little boy, waiting an entire day at the base of the building just to give her a flower, this pure and fervent love moved her.

Ye Xian saw her wavering and revealed a sly smile, "Does Sister not want to make it up to me?"

This kid, quite the professional.

He leveraged the advantages of being a 'little puppy' to the fullest, utilizing a mix of child-like guile, meltingly sweet pouts, and the forthright passion of youth. In just a few words and glances, he conveyed it all.

Ning Xiner took the flower, then seemingly remembered something, and threw it onto the ground, "Stop it, I'm really upset right now, I need to go home."

Having said that, she turned to leave.

"Sister~"

The lights shifted to another spot, and Ye Xian stylishly picked up a guitar from the side.

Music started up around them, unbeknownst when, and colorful balloons slowly floated up on the stage, stunning Ning Xiner.

Ye Xian strummed the guitar while gently smiling at her.

"When your eyes crinkle as you smile, when you drink Coke, when you fuss, I want to be good to you. You never know that missing you, longing for you, could also become an addiction, when you talk about today's troubles, when you say you can't sleep deep into the night, I want to tell you, yet fear I'll say it all wrong. I really like you, do you know that~"

The young man's voice was clear and melodious, as if stars were embedded in his amber eyes, filled with bright and sparkling affection for the person before him.

Not only was Ning Xiner dazed, but the judges below were also spellbound, immersed in the pure and heart-stirring confession of the youth.

At the end of the song, Ye Xian put down the guitar, looking earnestly at Ning Xiner, "Sister, even though I can't be that 'him' for you right now, may I walk you home?"

[Although I can't be that 'him,' please allow me to walk you home] — the most classic confession from the 16th-century's most romantic novel "A Life of Love."

The actress playing Ning Xiner couldn't help but cover her mouth.

How could anyone refuse such an excellent and devoted 'little puppy'!

"Wow, wow, wow~"

Below the stage, several judges began to clap enthusiastically.

Li Jiahua was so excited she stood up at once: "Cut! That was really good, performed exceptionally well! It's as if it was Gu Chen himself!"

Ye Xian flashed a slight smile and set down the guitar.

This kind of role, which posed no challenge for her, was a piece of cake; however, it was her first time acting as a boy to charm a girl, and the experience was quite novel.

"So, uh... young man, may I ask for your WeChat?"

Even after the scene, the actress was still visibly thrilled, looking at her full of hope.

Ye Xian raised an eyebrow, "...Sure."

The sparkle in her eyes was something Ye Xian was familiar with; fans in her past life would look at her with the same expression. Unfortunately... back then, it was as a female star that she received such treatment. Now, this actress clearly mistook her for a man and was asking for her WeChat.

"Number 12 auditioning actor, come on down!" Li Jiahua beckoned Ye Xian with high spirits, "Young man, what's your name?"

"Ye Xian."

"Ye Xian, eh? So, wait, what did you just say your name was?"

He halted mid-sentence, his expression changed as if doubting his own ears, and stared at him in shock.
